After exploring various methods to create div aspect ratios using CSS, I had success with a demo. However, I encountered an issue with setting the height of my container when the width-to-height ratio is larger (#1 scenario).

I was able to achieve the #2 scenario successfully. But when attempting the #1 scenario, the container's height expands unexpectedly. Here is the code I used:
HTML, body {
margin:0;
padding:0;
height:100%;
}
#container{
background: khaki;
padding: 10px;
display: table;
width: 150px;
height: 300px;
transition: all .5s ease-in-out;
}
#container:hover {
width: 500px; /* Only increasing the width */
height: 300px;
}
#c-ver-al {
background: lightblue;
padding: 10px;
text-align: -webkit-center;
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
height 100%;
width: 100%;
}
#c-hor-al {
background: pink;
padding: 10px;
text-align: -webkit-center;
display: inline-block;
object-fit: cover;
height 100%;
width: 100%;
}
#frame {
padding: 10px;
background: lightgray;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
#window {
width: 66%;
padding-bottom: 75%;
background: blue;
}
#chat {
width: 33%;
padding-bottom: 75%;
background: red;
}
.content {
display: inline-block;
margin: -2px;
}<html>
<body>
if you hover over it, only the container's width will be increased, not the height
<div id="container">
<div id="c-ver-al">
<div id="c-hor-al">
<div id="frame">
<div id="chat" class="content"></div>
<div id="window" class="content"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
The height of the container should not change, but it is
</body>
</html>Note: Padding has been added to the divs for easier visualization. Please excuse any imperfections in the demo as I am new to HTML and CSS.
Edit: Implemented a hover action in CSS for demonstration of aspect ratio functionality
